Progress

There are blinds in the bedroom and middle room now, and towel racks in the bathroom.

There are 3 bookcases up, at least, and bolted to the wall, and I just about have the first one filled with books.

And even though I can't use it yet, do to a few inches of gap between the drain pipe coming down and the drain pipe going into the wall, I have a new sink! Already, the kitchen looks so much better, I don't have words to express it. It looks like a place where I could cook food without dying of food poisoning!

(Sorry about the continued lack of pictures. I haven't talked much about my phone line problems. Suffice it to say that the same person that glued together the pipes in the house and jury-rigged the sink in the garage seems to have had a phone fetish, and there is a tangled mess of phone lines and cables in the walls. This is making it hard to get a good Internet connection at home.)

Lesson learned: a sink made of porcelain over cast iron is very heavy, so you probably shouldn't drop it on your drain pipe.
